“A lot of people have talked to me about staying,” Mrs. Clinton
said, declining to be more specific. When asked if current events will
force her departure date to slip, she said it was “unlikely,” but for
the first time left open that possibility for the short term.

One of the most popular and respected members of the Obama administration, Clinton faces the possibility that her legacy will be marred by the attacks in Benghazi and questions about diplomatic security. She has taken full responsibility
for any security lapses and defended the administration’s sometimes
confusing accounts of what happened, saying, “Everyone who spoke tried
to give the information they had.”
